Barcelona doesn’t do small trade shows. Every exhibition lands at a scale most other European cities can’t host. Also, thousands of visitors fill entire halls dedicated to a single vertical, week-long exhibition.
A few big shows are lining up here in Barcelona in 2026-27. We’ve listed the seven worth knowing about below. And because we build stands in this city ourselves, you will know what actually goes into pulling off a successful custom exhibition stand.
ExproGlobal is an exhibition stand builder in Barcelona that has already helped make a mark at these key shows in previous editions.
